Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
A fabulous holiday house in an absolutely stunning region. The quality of furnishings was excellent; plenty of kitchen ware and bathroom fittings were great. Thank you for the lovely welcome hamper, it was much appreciated. Water pressure was strong; showers invigorating. Peat water was ‘interesting’ but bottled water discovered in cupboard for drinking. Rain stopped play on use of the outside seating/BBQ etc. but the views over the reed bed and river were fantastic. Every day we spent much time listening for and observing the birds in their natural habitat. We would certainly return without hesitation, loved this property and the many adventures on hand within the county of Connemara.
